Decorating a workspace can definitely be motivating, but alternatively one can "undecorate" their workspace for motivation. My last six months at my dissatisfying job, I literally removed all my personal items from my office, even my favorite coffee mug ! Somehow, not having any personal property in the office or at the company made the idea that I would soon be leaving feel much more real.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@iamjane9628]

Same here !

[@elizabethrose5007]

This is just my opinion but when a job begin to make you physically and mentally ill it is time to leave. Some employers feel they own you instead of you working for them. They constantly piling on more work and will not raise your salary.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

This is very true. We hope those experiencing this would find this helpful in dealing with such situations.

[@imperialchalice]

This is my experience. That structure needs to change. Sometimes even the money isn’t worth it…they need to change the way the whole business operates.

[@outandabout4812]

True but do you take a lower paying new job? I have.

[@AyTee77]

I am in this situation right now. I get sick every 2 months like clock work. I’m a salaried employee that works over 50+ hours a week and do not get pad overtime because my manager said as a salaried employee I do not get overtime. It’s killing my soul. I work with untrustworthy and lazy people, and the person I’m suppose to count on as my right hand demands extra money every time I try to delegate work to him. So I am ready to quit. I’m moving to a cheaper accommodation, and will soon be able to save a little to quit for a month or 2.

[@adstix]

Sometimes, jumping from one job to another can be like jumping from a frying pan right into a flaming 🔥 The new job may even turn out to be much worse than the previous one! Ultimately, the ideal goal is to be self-employed and financially independent! And there are many pathways to that lofty goal! Each person needs to find their own unique journey toward that independence!

[@ES-rh4yt]

So true

[@JordanMBS222]

Yesssss this !!!!

[@TheEmmanuelle18]

Some employers are so toxic that even if you try to quit on good terms, they sabotage you when your new employer call them as a reference. They treated you so bad but dare you to quit so when you do, they become more toxic! Sorry for my english, i'm french by language. Thanks for your advice and i love your channel so much.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

You are right - but never let a toxic employer prevent you from being your best self! Sometimes it's just best to move on! Thanks for being here!

[@deerhaven3350]

At one point in my life I was stuck in a toxic job for five years. It wasn't my manager who was toxic, it was the entire dynamic forced upon staff by upper management. I'd cry every day on my drive home from work, but the pay was so good I hung in there until I had something else lined up and had also paid off my car. To give you an idea of how bad the environment was: At one point 1/3 of my department was out on stress leave. Truth. I actually received a phone call one day from the head of HR for the entire corporation who was located in another state. She wanted to know how I was managing when so many could not. I told her I was considerably older than my colleagues with a long work history and attributed it to that. My last day on the job there was one of the happiest days of my entire life.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Thanks for sharing this. Sometimes leaving is the best option!

[@patriciakasenge9927]

Thank you for this, most of us really needed to hear this. The difficult part is that for my Job in Health , you can't even take breaks nor decorate your Environment, you literally overwhelmed the entire time.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Health care can be very stressful. We hope you have something in place to take care of yourself outside of work and can also ask for support at work to help reduce workload and overwhelm.

[@deerhaven3350]

Legally, any job must allow for breaks. Where I was only designated breaks were allowed. They tracked you if you left your desk at any other time because we were a call center. They'd report everyone's breaks to the entire department with hard-copies at meetings. A co-worker friend of mine used to call them the "potty reports". It was so humiliating and degrading, and this was at a very large, well-know, world-wide corporation.

[@IvanaGirl]

We can’t even take a 4 minute break so that stepping away it’s IMPOSSIBLE!!! I already quit I couldn’t handle it

[@emilyboyer9211]

Proud of you ❤

I watched this video TWICE. I need all the advice I can get to survive a job that just drains me. The job is not so much toxic, but it is just not a good fit for my personality and my best way of working. I will be practicing mindfulness before and after work and updating my resume and LinkedIn this weekend. Thank you for a great video!

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Thanks so much for tuning in! It should like it's time for a change - so yes! Update your resume and put yourself out there. Here's to bigger and better opportunities for you. And in the meantime, keep doing you best at your current job. You've got this!

[@melaniecastillo9786]

Our HR listened to our associate survey and moved our team manager. Life is better. I still hate dealing with self entitled people

[@danielvargas7286]

I just entered to a new job 2 months ago, and I hate it, however I know that is the best I can get at this time, and I will need to be there working for about 3 to 5 years, so thanks for the advices, tomorrow I will bring my little plant to my desk, I will be there for a long time, but I'm grateful with the life for giving me a job with a relatively good pay, that will give me the opportunity to study ❤.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Love that you are leading with gratitude! Stay focused on your goals!

[@no1gifted]

Just literally went through this. If you have a toxic boss who may sabotage your new job offer reference covertly ie great on written reference, but verbally leaves an unfavourable tone with the new employer, network with their boss / senior colleagues to give you a recommendation. Unfortunately I've had the pleasure of working with vindictive individuals

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Sorry to hear this. Hope you were able to come out stronger on the other side.

[@MsTYouTube]

Thank you for this! I am in this situation right now I am trying my best to find a new job opportunity that is a better fit for me. My health has been affected so much where I am currently working.

Im in this very situation i needed to hear this. Infact im tired of being employed im opting for self-employment. Im still at this job i now so hate, and i need provision to start my own business or atleast get a better paying job with minimal work load.

[@acfollowjcor318]

I like the idea of changing where one sits, it seems to be a good idea but I mentioned to my boss that I would love to change desk like 3 times but she could not care less and just ignored.

[@ironblazephoenix6214]

I feel like this is only helpful for office workers and should've been in the title of the video, this does not help me it has nothing in common with my work environment

[@RainyDayBX]

I disassociate from my toxic employer as much as possible. That means limit my interactions to only necessary ones and switch to remote or hybrid schedules. Sadly this can only get you so far as your employer will make stupid decisions that negatively impact you without learning from it --they'll repeat the same thing so best to get out asap.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Thanks so much for sharing this!

[@KimJilene]

This is a good tip and I will try to implement this. I am highly sensitive and an empath so it is hard for me not to absorb the chaos and negativity at my job. Learning to disassociate would probably be beneficial for me.

[@tricksgrl2]

I hate where I worked. I’m completely turned off. Every shift there is some bullshit. Never smooth… no matter what is done to prevent it.

[@K10jak]

I feel more lost now. We are not able to decorate our desks, or relocate our sitting position, I work with multiple toxic people (awful), there is NO work to do, HR have been unsupportive in the past (I've lots of evidence of employment law being broken, ready to sue when I leave). Mindfulness is my biggest friend. I put a single thought in my mind at the start of the day, I leave myself visual cues in my diary. I'm working on my next study exam to help my CV, and I've been applying for new jobs. Sadly a 3month notice for me. Thanks for your video as it has pointed out a couple of things, and has shown me I'm on the right track.

[@Clevergirlfinance]

Please do not be discouraged. If mindfulness is working for you, then just stay focused on that. Start looking for something else. Hopefully you can exit the toxic situation soon.

[@K10jak]
